A Variety of Retreat Programs
Ayahuasca draws people for many reasons, and each guest arrives at a unique stage of their personal journey. Some seek deeper spiritual connection. Others feel blocked, stuck, or limited and wish to move beyond those constraints. Many come hoping to find relief from depression, anxiety, or the lingering effects of childhood trauma. Even those who already enjoy a good life may feel called to elevate it to a higher level of clarity and purpose.
To honor this diversity, our Vancouver Island ayahuasca retreats offer a range of program lengths designed to help you receive the greatest benefit from your experience. Our curandero, Don Manain, brings more than 45 years of traditional Amazonian plant-medicine practice, ensuring knowledgeable, compassionate guidance throughout your stay.
When choosing the length of your retreat, consider your goals. Many participants find the transformation they seek within a 9-day program. Others discover that the additional two ceremonies offered in the 12-day retreat significantly deepen their results. The extended retreat also provides more flexibility for adjusting doses or resting during a ceremony without feeling pressed for time.
All of our retreats include a San Pedro (Huachuma) ceremony, the revered cactus medicine of the Andes, to complement and integrate the ayahuasca experience.
